1. The Nightmare Before Christmas

"This is Halloween". This movie is literally the epitome of all things Halloween and if you have not seen it, you are missing out.

2. Hocus Pocus

The three Sanderson sisters perectly emulate the idea of a witch trio. Somewhat of a cult classic, this movie is a Halloween staple.

3. The Addams Family

Two words: Wednesday Addams. Her goth personality and sarcastic comments make this character a Halloween icon.

4. Halloweentown (and the sequels)

If I could only watch one movie all October long, Halloweentown would be that one. Watching this movie and the sequels make me just love everything about Halloween.

5. Dark Shadows

Cool, funny, and slightly creepy. A winning combination for any Halloween movie.

6. Edward Scissorhands

Once again Johnny Depp as the main character. Clearly, Depp has a knack for acting in great Halloween themed movies.

7. Monster House

If you thought the abandoned house on the end of your street is scary, think again. This house takes the cake for scaring children.

8. Casper

Who doesn't love Casper, the Friendly Ghost?

9. Beetlejuice

Need to add a dose of creepy into your Halloween movie marathon? Then Beetlejuice is the movie for you.

10. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

In my house, watching this movie has become a great family tradition. From Snoopy dressed as the Red Baron to the fact that Charlie Brown always gets a rock, this movie is a Halloween classic.

11. Twitches

Twin Witches?! If DCOMs are your favorite thing on the planet, Twitches is perfect way to start off your Halloween.

12. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

And once again on this list: Johnny Depp. This movie honestly screams fright, creepiness, blood, and gore. Not only is the plot great, but the music is fantastic.

13. Danny Phantom

Yes, I do realize that Danny Phantom is not a movie, but hear me out, this tv show deserves a spot on this list. I mean, Danny Phantom might be the coolest ghost hunter I've ever seen and watching this show is basically like celebrating Halloween everyday.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
